Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
jaxorama-148-962882 Terrific performances by Riz Ahmed, John Turturro, Bill Camp. Michael Williams & Jeannie Berlin and well supported by Amara Karan, Poorna Jagannathan and the rest. This is such a satisfying series with every character having his or her own personal arc that ties into the main story.
adamantema Not very good. Turturro's character is interesting but annoying. The American-Pakistani actor's acting is pretty terrible, his character's behavior not believable. you can totally see he is acting. He actually seem lobotomized throughout the series.
joshgibbs-35276 I am not sure why the pace is so slow and majority of dialog and scenes don't advance the story an iota. I can appreciate the character development phase but too many distraction and irrelevant scenes. The prison drama seems like a filler for lack of strong mystery development elements; And what's up with so many shots of John Stone's feet? I don't know how it ends but I can tell you if it is anything like how it is progressing, it will be a yawn. I quit after the third episode even though I kept forwarding 5 to 10 minutes at the time. I can tell you the entire three episodes could have easily be nicely done in 45 minutes. You can fast forward 30 minutes and barely miss a point. I just don't know how and why these TV mini series get done this way. I guess it's good for the crew and director to drag the hell out of it.All in all, great acting, nice dramatic moments but weak plot, major gaffs (no blood on the defendant which no one mentions)(the important cut in his hand is not checked against the blood on the broken window to dispute DA), too many holes in to mention. Instead the story keeps shedding light on various potential suspects that could have done this. still i think fans of pure drama would enjoy the acting and the main character acting is superb in his transformation albeit unrealistic.
Paul Evans A mild mannered, young man 'Naz' takes his father's cab to head to a House Party, en route he encounters a mysterious, attractive girl. Captivated by her, Has heads back to her place, where the two make out. Was!into up several hours later, Has discovers she's been killed, terrified he runs off, but is soon picked up by the Police.The question is, did her or didn't he?This is the art of storytelling at its finest, as a story, it's not exactly unique, but the way it's told, the way it unravels, the realism, that feels unique.Riz Ahmed is a revelation as Naz, brilliant from the first scene to the last, I believed every aspect of the character, he had an innocence and a sincerity that was crucial for the role. The transformation in his character throughout was amazingly played out. You'd struggle to recognise Naz in the last from the first episode.I loved John Turtutrro and his character John Stone, a superb performance, he made John so interesting, his eczema/psoriasis gave him a unique side story.I won't pretend to know a great deal about the American legal and penal service, but I think what the writer was trying to show was that you put a shy kid into the prison service, and he'll come out of it worse then when he went in.I can think of no negatives whatsoever, possibly only the ambiguity at the end, did he do it or not? I think I it was made 99% clear that he was innocent, but I'm sure a second series will reply explore.The Night of is fantastic 10/10
